Record 1 2017-12-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery
  • The Larynx
CONT

Tracheoesophageal puncture. Stoma is occluded with finger to shunt air, through silicone bivalved tube, into the esophagus. The air causes vibration at the level of the P-E segment and enables production of sound.

CONT

Tracheoesophageal fistulas, which are created by a puncture technique and maintained by a plastic prosthesis, are useful in the restoration of speech after a total laryngectomy.

Key term(s)
  • tracheo-esophageal puncture
  • tracheo-esophageal fistula

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie ORL
  • Larynx
DEF

Canal créé chirurgicalement chez le laryngectomisé en vue de favoriser la réhabilitation de sa voix.

Record 2 2017-12-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery
  • The Larynx
OBS

Patency of the shunt requires and adequate fistula that often becomes stenotic from chronic inflammation. The shunt may collapse, break down, or form a stricture for similar reasons; also, the luminal opening is at risk for disruption or cicatricial stenosis.

Key term(s)
  • tracheo-oesophageal shunt

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie ORL
  • Larynx
CONT

Si l'on considère le pourcentage de résultats satisfaisants par érygmophonie, ou par prothèses électriques, l'effectif des opérés trop âgés ou non motivés et de ceux qui ont des contre-indications locales ou broncho-pulmonaires, les candidats potentiels à ces shunts trachéo-œsophagiens sont environ 2 pour 1 000 laryngectomisés.

OBS

Record 3 2017-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery
  • The Larynx
CONT

A tracheo-esophageal puncture technique for voice restoration after laryngectomy.

CONT

Tracheoesophageal puncture. Stoma is occluded with finger to shunt air, through silicone bivalved tube, into the esophagus. The air causes vibration at the level of the P-E segment and enables production of sound.

OBS

Tracheoesophageal fistulas, which are created by a puncture technique and maintained by a plastic prosthesis, are useful in the restoration of speech after a total laryngectomy. On the other hand, I have not found total laryngectomy with tracheoesophageal puncture to be an acceptable substitute for near-total laryngectomy if the patients’ cancer did not actually require a total laryngectomy ... Furthermore, puncture methods direct the bolus of pulmonary air into the esophagus. Sometimes this induces a cricopharyngeal spasm, which must be corrected before the air can be brought up into the pharynx as sound ... On the other hand, excellent results in a co-operative patient are certainly possible with the puncture and prosthesis technique.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie ORL
  • Larynx
DEF

Technique chirurgicale de réhabilitation de la voix du laryngectomisé par l'ouverture d'un canal de communication entre la trachée et l'œsophage.
